new gTLDS: A look behind the scenes….

The past couple of months have been a very exciting time for both the domain industry and 123-reg. The start of the year saw the launch of new gTLDs and just 5 months into this online revolution we are already starting to become very familiar with new domain endings.

We believe that gTLDs are going to very significant for businesses and that is why we have commissioned our first ever television advertising campaign promoting new gTLDs.

The campaign’s aim is to highlight the new and exciting possibilities of new gTLDs and demonstrate how businesses of any size can use these new unique domain names to better promote their brand.

The advert presents a highly powerful message. We took the word ‘dating’, and placed this generic term in front of differing new gTLDs, including, .london, .club, .pub and .xyz. Now, imagine your business name in front of one these new gTLDs and you can see our thinking behind this!
